OUR COMPANY

Our Company History

Blafar Ltd. was incorporated in Feb 2018 by spinning out from Vornia Ltd. Professor Wenxin Wang is the founder of both companies. Professor Wenxin Wang served as the Chairman and CSO for Vornia Ltd. from 2010 to Jan 2018 before it was acquired by Ashland Inc. Vornia Ltd. specialised in polylactic acid (PLA) and polylactic acid glycolic acid copolymer (PLGA) based bioresorbable polyester materials. The technologies and knowhows on functionalised biopolymers, biocompatible injectable hydrogel as well as bio-inks for 3D printing, were spun out to form the new company Blafar Ltd.

Our Customers and Targeted Markets

Blafar will be leading the global consumer market of multifunctional biopolymers and their derived products such as injectable hydrogels and bio-inks and their applications in the field such as cell/drug delivery, 3D printed tissue engineering scaffold, dermal fillers, skincare and wound healing. We design and develop hydrogel biomaterials for tissue engineering and biomedical applications as well as develop high quality and advanced formulations containing unique functionalised biopolymers. We also supply the customised biomaterials for our customers, who either from universities research laboratories or from the R&D department of commercial manufacturers.

Our Expertise and Products

Blafar has the expertise, knowledge and technologies in biopolymer design and functionalisation which can meet various requirements from our global customers. Our vision and goal are to achieve the leadership position in functionalised biopolymers market by developing and manufacturing biopolymer products as key functional ingredients as well as developing the end-use products including injectable hydrogels for stem cell and drug delivery and bio-inks for 3D bioprinting. Currently, the functionalised biopolymers products from Blafar include PEG-based polymers, functionalised hyaluronic acid (HA), collagen, gelatin, chondroitin sulfate (CS) and their derived biocompatible and customisable hydrogels and bio-inks.

Our Partnerships

In order to develop dermal filler and medical device products using our unique biopolymer technology platform, now Blafar is working with other industry partners to accelerate the commercialisation processes. We develop new technologies by collaborating with other research institutes, universities and life science companies. We are currently collaborating with healthcare professionals in different medical fields, such as the development of drug delivery injectable hydrogels with orthopedic surgeons for the treatment of lumbar disc herniation induced pain and osteoarthritis, with ophthalmologists for ocular injection, cell delivery system with endocrinologist for hormones therapy, and with plastic surgeons for wound healing and cosmetic surgeries.

Company Business Scope

Design and develop ECM based biopolymers and synthetic polymers as the key functional ingredients of versatile injectable hydrogels and bio-inks.
